Late on Tuesday night the Birmingham: police made a most horrible discovery,
A midwife named Mrs. Mary Bowel, who bears an excellent character, became an in patient of the infirintury at Erdington near Hirmingho, last Wednesday, and on Tuesday her married son went to the house in Arthurst, Small Heath, to remove some furniture,
Going into the coller he came across a num- her of buses in a corner which emitted in horrible smell. He informed a neighbour, who advised him to communicate with the police. This he did, and on-the-boxes being opened each was found to contain the Vody of an infant. There were nine in all-some partially clad, others naked-packed in Iludson's dry soap boxes.
Most of the bodies appear to be those of newly-born infants, but one or two seem to be those of infants who must have been a week or
two old. Some had the appearance of having been in the cellar for a considerable time, and there are traces of time among, the remains. Others, again, cannot have been there long, and a few were packed in wadding and the boxes neatly wrapped in brown paper rind tied with string, as it ready to be taken away,

Another grave in which, according to the register, there had been 47 interments was found to contain only seven coffins; one of them was packed full of human remains.

Naturally, on a hard, true wicket the batsmen bad the best of it, but apart from the first four-batsmen, the others were not of the same class and gave a sorry show. Nothing could have been finer than the way in which Braon and Fry opened the Sussex innings, I don't think i have ever seen the first pair of batsmen in any match look quite Comfortable and play good-class boy did Brann has not a particularly elegant pose at the wicket, nor does he always get his runs in the best manner, but no fault at all could be found against him yesterday; for he played like a book, and made all his strokes with perfect precision.
